KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 2022 — Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) will give rebates to consumers, especially traders, affected by the power outage in several areas in Peninsular Malaysia last Wednesday, according to Minister of Energy and Natural Resources (KeTSA) Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan.
He said about one million domestic, industrial and commercial account users were affected by the power outage that occurred at 12.39 pm on that day, according to a Bernama report.
He told reporters this after attending the 55th Kota Bharu PAS annual general meeting, in Kota Bharu today.
According to him, the affected account users, such as traders, can submit claim by stating the amount of loss suffered.
Takiyuddin, who is Kota Bharu Member of Parliament, also said that he will table the detailed information on the rebate in Parliament on Aug 4.
TNB said that the electricity supply disruption that occurred in several areas in Peninsular Malaysia since 12.39 last Wednesday resulted in a load loss of 2.2 gigawatts (GW), which is 10 percent of the total supply demand in Peninsular Malaysia.
The disruption was caused by an equipment failure at the Yong Peng North Main Input Substation (PMU) in Yong Peng, Johor.
